pettie4sox Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Steve Gardner Indians 4, Cubs 3: Corey Kluber and the Indians bullpen turn in another gallant effort and Ramirez hits a walk-off homer off Aroldis Chapman to give Cleveland the title. MVP: Jose Ramirez. When the Indians win, Corey Kluber should absolutely be the MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I know I am not the only one that has felt like the Cubs are destined to win this entire thing. We can look at the stats and what we think "should" happen all we want but if they are destined none of the stats even matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxjr27 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This bandwagon cub fan here at the office is driving me nuts. He is telling people that Tomlin is Cleveland's best pitcher and that tonight its OVER. Book it! I wonder if he will bet the house? Seems he forgot about Kluber.....

flavum Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) One of two things is going to happen: 1) The Cubs lose, and we'll be happy to see their stupid fans be disappointed once again. or 2) The Cubs win, and their bar is set for the next five years while part of their identity dies. I'll take #1, but some positive will also happen if they win. Edited November 2, 2016 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tables were turned and the Sox were in the WS there would be no message saying wear your Sox gear to work to celebrate..

Edit: Actually, 6-9 and then leadoff hitter. I'm surprised more people don't talk about this. The Cubs have had 3 or 4 automatic outs in every game but everyone still acts as though they have 9 hitters in the mix for a batting title.

shipps Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Is the world going to be different if the Cubs win? It seems like it would somehow have a snowball effect in other aspects of my life. Like, I will no longer be able to order my coffee served hot or we will have to drive on the left side of the road or something. These arent possibilities are they?

It's not too much different than the White Sox or Red Sox. 88 years... 86 years... 108 years. A long time is a long time, especially when every living fan is seeing it for the first time. But the media has their narratives, and that's all that matters to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
